This scheme aims to support households in the most need.
The Household Support Fund is now closed to new applications in order to enable us to pay the remaining applications before the government deadline.
Because of an underspend in some areas of the scheme, we can distribute the remaining funds to households who have had the “welfare benefits” award of £100. Each household will receive an additional £47. This will be paid into bank accounts soon, and no later than 15 October 2024. Please do not contact us about this payment before then.
We will update this page in October with details of a new scheme, which will operate through the coming Winter.
The Welfare Support scheme helps people who are setting up a home for the first time.
